Top propellers do not spin...any suggestions???

Your gears are Stripped. they are made of plastic and will strip if rotors were spinning and it gets caught in a tree. You can find the parts for them fairly cheap but shipping takes awhile. (china) Look at them closely. Hope this Helps Sorry

Remember the top propellers are the bottom gears and the lower propellers are the the top gear.

Ours did the same thing. Not sure how to correCT the problem. We bought this one because of the high number of positive reviews, as a trainer before purchasing the more expensive quad copter with camera. We kept this one for parts incase we buy another one, but pretty disappointed in this copter. Good luck, hubby did say there were some you tube videos on correcting the problem, but he has lost patience with it.

Had same thing first off. Loosen everything, pull out top shaft all the way to the end. It does seem to stick the first time and may break but it won't.

I changed my motor and gear box out and installed a brushless with batteries then I found props that fit...and she screams.. I did make new landing gear so the longer prop fits well...Good luck..

Had similar problem. Out of the box, the copter flew fine (apart from my novice controlling). From the second flight onward, it would not get any higher than a couple of inches off the floor. I trolled the forums to try and solve the issue. I purchased a replacement battery, struggled with the fiddley fitting of it and still not sorted. I've now ordered another copter off amazon 'cos my lad (and me) really want to have one of these working. As a last resort I've just applied a little WD40 (via the WD40 straw) to the cogs and the bottom of the shaft and Hey Presto, works a treat! Looks like me and the boy will be duelling now that i've ordered a second! Hope that this helps anyone with the same issue. Had similar problem.

I don't know what to say about your problem,but I do know they have not responded to my question. My Co-axial flys backwards,and has since I bought it. It won't fly forward. Sorry I can't help. I just wonder if they got some bad ones.Buy one from the mfg. and it is over $100.00. Makes ya wonder don't it. Again sorry. cvbridges

Couple things that happened to me as well. Solution 1) did you use old batteries to charge it from the controler? If so, replace the batteries and charge again. Also the second time that happened there was some fiber wrapped around the rotor that I had to remove. Other than that, I think it's the best flyer for the price on the market. Hope this helps.

If its brand new return it. Because its most likely the pcb board. I have a few Wltoys V911's and after a crash with one , the tail motor kept spinning no matter what, even soon as you plugged in the battery. I had to replace the circuit board. You can't repair the circuit boards. I have a couple of the F3's, and they are awsome copters. Bilt better then the v911 but. Slower.

Replace all the batteries, it that does not help then you might have problem with the control unit itself. I could never get my flying because even that motors were running, the quadcopter did not respond to the commands from the control unit. I returned it.

Check to see if there is any damage to the blades. Hold the bottom of the copter and spin the blades. Look at them from the side, and look for wobbling motion, or vibration noise. If a motor wobbles, replace the blade. I know this is late, but it might help others.

A friend of mine just had the same problem, he flew it, replaced battery with a fresh one, and nothing... Sorry to say this but his main rotor motor went bad...But if you're lucky the transmitter batteries may be low enough to give you a problem try replacing them...(Don't pay much attention to the bars for your transmitter batteries , it lies)

Sounds like it may be defective. When I tightened the screw when it needed to be, it didn't spin and just tightened properly. I suggest sending the one you have back and getting another one.

I had to buy a new blade assembly (found on amazon, SPB-456-2B), something had burned/broke inside and it wouldn't spin anymore: it spun before and now that I put the new blade assembly in, it spins again.

take apart the pump assembly...you will be able to see if the rotor is turning correctly...also check to make sure that the plastic wing is still attached...that is what happened to mine.. it was really simple to change.

Mine didn't. I broke three of the four props when I tried it. The propellors are cheep.

We just got ours, but owned these years ago, and I noticed right away it didn't spin right. The plastic around the tip of the feathers that attaches the swivel is too high up on the swivel thing (technical term ;) ) so I just trimmed the plastic back a bit, and it spins perfectly now.

that means you have tightened the screws that hold the blades to tight,make sure they are tight but not too tight, make sure the blades can swivel easily ,all 4 need to be able to swing back and forth freely.another thing, check the gears, ive had to replace my gears already, mostly the main gear in the rear of the chopper. but I put money on it you tightened the blades down to tight ,so just back the screws out 1 to 2 turns and try it , ive found a lot of good info on youtube .. hope that helps !!!!
